I think all the mid-engine exotics pretty much look alike—Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, etc., and now Corvette. I believe there’s just something about mid-engine architecture that pretty much forces an exterior design into a much tighter set of parameters than those for front-engine vehicles.

I agree 100%. It’s shaped like a Ferrari. The Corvette shape and front-engined layout made it unique.

It is painfully generic, isn't it? And the detailing just adds noise without adding intrigue.

They’ve been driving that test mule around for so long that the yet to be revealed design has gone out of style. Peel off the camo and viola! It’s 2005!

They are two separate issues. I do not like the overall shape of this car, personally. It looks like just about any Ferrari from the past 20 years, and I don’t particularly care for those, either.

I’m just gonna say it.

In a world of microaggressions. Welcome to deadspin. 

Starred for the smoke break at 6k.

“However, the Pelicans also demonstrated why Davis is looking to leave, as not even that type of night from him and 35 points from Julius Randle could overcome the Lakers” 

In all seriousness, why in the fuck is the QB on the national champions and potential first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft playing intramural anything?

But if Demps really was a dead man walking this season, and I believe he was, doesn’t that make it more logical to NOT trade Davis until they have a new GM in place? Otherwise you trade for a bunch of young guys who the new GM feels aren’t “his guys” and then wastes resources trying to get rid of. 

The Lakers are not “the league’s asset-rich flagship franchise”, but Deadspin can continue to ceaselessly beat that drum I suppose.

I wonder if anybody mentioned that they could have started that overhaul fruitfully a little over a week ago by trading Davis away...

The Pelicans shouldn’t have traded one of the best players in the NBA for what amounts to trash. Kuzma is this year’s Jordan Clarkson, how are things in Cleveland? The value of what LA has continues to depreciate with every loss, I don’t see how one can argue this is a trade that should have been made.  

This take sucks. Dell Demps was an awful GM but not bending to Rich Paul and Davis’ demands and waiting to trade him until this summer was the right move for the organization.

“Petulantly stonewalling Davis’s destination of choice” by, uh, declining a lousy offer for a bunch of shitty players who can’t even get LeBron to the playoffs this year?

anthony davis always seems to be hurt tho

He signed a fucking contract. If you sign someone to a contract to redo your kitchen and they decide halfway through that they’d rather do someone else’s kitchen, does that mean they can stop? Especially if you are paying them tens of millions of dollars?

Seriously, this spin, man.

Another classic snark filled rant from Deadspin against the Pelicans. Did we already forget the article a few days ago about how Rich Paul really stuck it to the Pelicans by “forcing” them to play AD? And how did Mr. Glass repay that turn of events? By turning in whatever it was you call that against the Magic and…
